Comfort food appetite to NO appetite

Anyone else? I have no appetite. The biproduct of worry and stress from this pregnancy has now grown into worrying about everything, trying to stay positive but my appetite for cookies, cheese puffs, mac n cheese...now all i want is water. I'm really thirsty for water, but it's like my body is done with "eating for two" now, maybe?

It's all so confusing and like a merry-go-round of questions and coping.

I used to crave loads especially chocolate and fizzy drink but since I lost my baby I cant even think of food I only eat for the sake as family make sure im gtting my nutrients. Hugs and love your way hun xxx

Yes! I ate "junk" for about 2 weeks after I found out. It was definitely comfort food!

Listen to your body and keep drinking water. If you have a nutrition concern, pick up some Ensure drinks or another similar brand. These are good supplements or in this case, temporary meal replacement. Your body still needs calories to function.

since I lost my baby I haven't been eating much. I usually eat when my husband has notice and he makes me eat. I get hungry but I don't have an appetite. I notice I have lost weight but I can't get out of this depression.

I had food aversions when I was pregnant and didn't eat much I lost 5-6 lbs while pregnant (mc at 13 weeks) and now I'm down a total of 16 lbs from prepregnancy I have no appetite, but I'm hypoglycemic snd hungry. I force myself to eat and have 3-4 bites and can't eat more.

I had severe hyperemisis while I was pregnant. Spent most of the pregnancy in the hospital and all of it (since week 4) on bed rest. Seriously kept down less than 300 calories, including liquids, a day. At most! Unless it was given to me through an IV.

So after the MC I ate a ton! Tex-mex and ice cream every day for almost 2 weeks. Now for the past week I've had no appetite at all. Having to set reminders on my phone to remember to eat. I'm waiting to go into my OB right now for post op appointment-but according to my home scale I have lost 10 lbs this week.

I think it's the new normal for us. After our mc on June 3rd, I had no appetite,modding eat, couldn't remember if I ate, and only ate because I didn't want DH to be upset about me not eating. It's only been in the past maybe 2 weeks that I've actually been hungry. I think when I started exercising that jump started my appetite. For a while I was only eating onion & garlic chips and a candy bar for meals. Then I started just having smoothies to substitute the chips & candy which wasn't considered a meal anyway. Yeah, nothing wrong with chips & candy, but eating those all day as a meal substitution wasn't a good thing. Now I'm actually up to eating real meals.

I have no appetite. I lost my baby boy at 35 1/2 weeks. From around 30 weeks on, I had severe heartburn, indigestion, and morning sickness (it came back at 28 weeks). So, I only gained like 2 pounds from 30-35 weeks. Since my loss, I have no appeitite. My OB calls me each week to check on me (watching for PPD, I am sure) and he keeps asking if I am eating. I tell him...very little. He told me he will not worry until 6-9 weeks post-partum. He said if it continues past that point, then we have to start worrying and thinking about depression, etc... For me, I think it is stress, nerves, anxiety (I am now anxious about everything---mostly losing my hubby or other kids), hormones, and just not seeing a big reason to eat (before it was for the baby....now, what's the point). I do get hungry some and eat when I am hungry....but I can easily go 90% of the day without eating.

You aren't alone....whether that is a good thing or bad thing, I don't know.
